Draft-eligible sophomores should be up later tonight.

Chad Jones (LSU) and Chad Bettis (Texas Tech) are other players that got away from Houston that year. That 2007 Astros draft was really something – it seems like it has the chance to go down as one of the worst, if not the worst, ever. I haven’t done enough homework to really say one way or another, but I tend to doubt it’s all that common to have a draft that produces literally no big league players. Looking at this list…

…it’s difficult to envision any of Houston’s signed picks ever having meaningful big league careers. Ouch.

Then they fail to sign their next two in Dietrich, and Eibner. Which makes the draft a wash, especially since Colin DeLome hasn’t become anything special either.

Does this list include draft-eligible sophmores?
